Bluesky expands its AI-powered Attie app to let anyone build websites, games, and more

Bluesky announced an expansion of its experimental Attie platform at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026. The new AI-powered tool allows everyday users to build websites, games, quizzes, and other interactive experiences for communities using the AT Protocol. The feature aims to bring social distribution to AI-generated applications.

Open social network Bluesky has announced an expansion of its experimental Attie platform at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026, introducing new AI-powered capabilities that allow users to create websites, games, quizzes, polls, and other interactive experiences. According to Bluesky CEO Toni Schneider, the feature introduces social vibe coding, enabling people to build experiences for groups or communities rather than just having a solo AI interaction. The user-created sites and games operate on the AT Protocol (ATProto) and connect to the creator's ATProto identity. Attie can suggest projects based on public Bluesky profiles, and users can either bring their own AI model or use open-weight options. Bluesky COO Rose Wang noted that the platform solves the typical distribution problem for AI-generated projects by giving them immediate access to Bluesky's audience. Bluesky currently has 47 million registered users, though the network has experienced a decline in engagement as some testers returned to X. Attie serves as a testing ground for AI ideas as Bluesky works to reinvigorate activity on its network. Additionally, the platform is preparing for forthcoming support for private data, which is currently in alpha testing with a planned rollout by the end of the year.

Why it matters

This development addresses the distribution challenge of AI-generated applications by tying them directly into an existing social network. It highlights a trend of blending solo AI generation tools with collaborative, community-driven social experiences.
